<para>There currently is support to bundle applications that are packaged as Ruby gems. The utility "bundix" allows you to write a <filename>Gemfile</filename>, let bundler create a <filename>Gemfile.lock</filename>, and then convert
|
|
this into a nix expression that contains all Gem dependencies automatically.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For example, to package sensu, we did:</para>

$ mkdir sensu
|

$ cd sensu

$ cat > Gemfile

gem 'sensu'

<para>Please check in the <filename>Gemfile</filename>, <filename>Gemfile.lock</filename> and the <filename>gemset.nix</filename> so future updates can be run easily.

<para>Resulting derivations also have two helpful items, <literal>env</literal> and <literal>wrapper</literal>. The first one allows one to quickly drop into
|
|
<command>nix-shell</command> with the specified environment present. E.g. <command>nix-shell -A sensu.env</command> would give you an environment with Ruby preset
|
|
so it has all the libraries necessary for <literal>sensu</literal> in its paths. The second one can be used to make derivations from custom Ruby scripts which have
|
|
<filename>Gemfile</filename>s with their dependencies specified. It is a derivation with <command>ruby</command> wrapped so it can find all the needed dependencies.
|
|
For example, to make a derivation <literal>my-script</literal> for a <filename>my-script.rb</filename> (which should be placed in <filename>bin</filename>) you should
|
|
run <command>bundix</command> as specified above and then use <literal>bundlerEnv</literal> lile this:</para>
